    Default New Bike

    I have owned several bikes 06 ZX636R, 1979 Yamaha XS650 HC. I liked the sport bike but wanted something more 2up friendly, picked up the XS with the intentions of doing a full out Restomod cafe type deal. Decided dumping a ton of money into a bike that I couldn't get full coverage insurance on. So I tried selling it for a bit and no bites. My wife and I went to a Pancake breakfast at a local dealership as part of a black Friday deal. Ended up picking this thing up for a fucking steal almost 4500 off MSRP. Brand new with 0 miles 2012 Yamaha Star Stryker. For those who don't know this is a 1305cc bike, and is a blast to ride with a ton of torque. Soon to come; Sissy bar ( wife's request), full pipes, intake and tuner.

    Try not. Do or Do not.

    That is high on list, but I made a promise to the wife that it would remain close to stock while under warranty. So ill toss her sissy bar on and then play the waiting game.

    That is the Low&mean bike they have it for sale on eBay. And before there is anymore harassment on upgrades I ordered my sissy bar ( required by the wife) and am trying to find a powder coater local to the canton area LMK if you know one. Up next will be Intake Vans and Hines exhaust and tuner. Then onto some more visual stuff.
